Sky Bet say: “Rochdale’s goal rush owed much to the pace and trickery of Mendez-Laing whose willingness to take on defenders provokes panic and opens up space for others in equal measure. He also chipped in with four goals himself.”

Mendez-Laing’s four goals came in the games against Sheffield United, MK Dons, Gillingham and Millwall. He’s now in double figures for the season, having netted ten.
